Stryker today announced the U.S. commercial launch of Mako RPS (Robotic Power System) for total knee replacement procedures, further expanding the Mako portfolio into a new category of orthopedic robotics.
The launch marks the introduction of the Mako Handheld Robotics platform, alongside the Mako SmartRobotics with Mako 4, Stryker's multi-specialty robotic-arm assisted platform. Designed to provide surgeons with a more intuitive handheld robotic experience, Mako RPS combines Stryker's expertise in robotics and power tools to bring robotic technology to a new customer segment of the orthopaedic market.
As healthcare providers increasingly seek flexibility in how robotic technology is incorporated into orthopedic procedures, Mako RPS offers a new option that blends robotic execution with a familiar surgical experience. The launch expands access to Mako, offering surgeons more robotic options and bringing Mako to a broader range of customers and care settings.
Compatible with Stryker's Triathlon Total Knee System, Mako RPS for Total Knee features intraoperative planning and a robotically enabled saw equipped with Stryker's patented active adjustment technology, which responds to a surgeon's hand movements and helps maintain alignment with the surgical plan in real time. The system provides a familiar cutting experience without the need for cutting blocks, offering an option for surgeons interested in adopting robotic technology while integrating easily into their existing surgical workflows.
Built to work with Stryker's multi-specialty Q Guidance System, Mako RPS expands Stryker's ecosystem of enabling technologies across the continuum of orthopedic care and sites of service.
